Expert Leadership
• Orientation – invitation to public• Education – additional RF info• Evaluation – level of participation• Tools – corresponding to interest• Projects –available for production• Seal Cruise – field trip• Web Development – interfaces for caring
Field Trips
• Visit Places• Listen to Experts• Observe with All Senses• Form Opinions• Have Fun• Get Out into Nature• Share with Friends, Family, Leaders• Take an Active Role
Field Trips-Part Two
• Provide Exposure to Landscape
• Place Theoretical into Reality
• Give Overview of Seal and Turtle Lives
• Encourage Individual Participation
• Online Mapping Tools
• Desktop Mapping Options
• Take User Through Learning Process
Independent Learning
• Review of Cruise Materials• Traditional Reading and Writing• Visual Investigation• Collaborative Participation• Use Mapping Tools to Report Observation• Use Mapping Tools to Explore Seal
Habitat Interaction with Human Habitat• Seeing the Big Picture
Technology
• Web Site• Help• Audio Techniques• Video Techniques• Software Packages• Templates for Understanding• References to Existing Works• Applications to Real Life
Big Science
• Federal, State, Local Governments• Not-for-Profit Organizations• Professional Societies• Advocacy Groups• Businesses• Politicians• Citizens• Children
Student Collaboration
• Volunteers Walk Beaches and Report Observations to Headquarters via Online Reporting Tools and Interactive Maps
• Have the Opportunity to Use Various Interactive Maps to Explore Issues of Cohabitation
• Learn Vocabulary of Earth Science, Biology, Cartography and Geography

Online Interactive Site• Go to maps.google.com• Add the seal cruise data points by using the
Google Maps option to Search Maps• Just paste the following into their text window for
Search Maps and press Search Maps:• http://globalscience.home.att.net/TRF/
SealCruise.kml• These points show the Seal Cruise so …• Pan Around, Read Them. Zoom in! • Interact and Learn
Spatial Learning TheoryGersmehl’s Scissors:
Topical and Regional Analysis
An effective means of geographical learning uses the interaction between two methods of examination: topical and regional.
Topic: Seals
Region: Long Island
Spatial Learning TheoryTwelve Thought Modes
• Location – Where?• Condition – What?• Situation – How?• Comparison• Aura – Influence• Regionalization
• Hierarchy• Transition• Pattern(s)• Correlation• Temporality• Models
Location – Where?
• (x,y); Lat, Long; Address; Landmark; Roadway• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Condition – What?
• Campus, Park, Hospital, Roadways, …• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Situation – How?
• Connections: How is this place linked to others?• Primary land donation, urban growth, infrastructure, …• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Aura – Influence
• What effect(s) does a feature have on nearby areas? Waterfront vs. Blight, Park vs. Industry
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Regionalization
• What nearby places are similar to each other for grouping? By color? Street Density?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Regionalization
• How about now? By Shadows, Grassland, Pixels ?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Hierarchy
• Where does this place fit into structure of nested areas? State, City, Borough, Community, Campus, Building
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Transition
• Is the change between places abrupt, or gradual? Cross-section, profile, Graph-able?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Pattern(s)?
• Are there imbalances, clusters or other arrangements?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Pattern(s)?
• Are there imbalances, clusters or other arrangements?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Correlation
• Do features tend to occur together?• Industry, Tall Buildings, High Density Housing, Parks?!• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Models
• Do features arrange themselves according to a set of rules?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
